Testimonials

Dave 53 yrs

“Following spinal surgery, I was recommended to consider Pilates as a method of improving core muscles that help maintain good posture and protect the spine from further injury. I was introduced to the principals of Pilates by my surgeon’s Physiotherapist but was pleased to find out that the techniques taught by Nina Ingham at ‘Body Shape Pilates’ , were exactly as recommended. Nina’s classes are varied and friendly and are designed to cater for the complete beginner through to the very experienced. I have benefited immensely from Pilates. Not only has my strength and posture improved but the complete body workout that Nina’s classes are designed to deliver has also helped me negate the need for injections and surgery to my shoulder. Maybe if I had discovered ‘Body Shape Pilates’, sooner I could have avoided spinal surgery altogether !!! ”
